Instant Happiness in a Laid-back Resort
Easter-Flyer (England) on May 16, 2024
My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful two weeks in Antigua. From the moment Alfred drove us from Reception, we appreciated the beauty and calm of this resort and the feeling that we had chosen wisely grew every day, almost until the day we left (bad weather and one poor meal; sadly, our last; broke the trend). The food at Gaugan was lovely (thank you, Inga); the drinks we like were made to perfection (thank you, Denita, Sandy G and Affique); the facilities always clean; and the entertainment enjoyable. Furthermore, the resort has hung on to the dying tradition of an evening dress code, to which all guests adhered and made genuine effort to look smart and stylish in the restaurants. No wonder returning guests are a common feature. I was therefore surprised to see a number of recent negative reviews about Galley Bay. Factually these reviews are not wrong, but are, in my opinion, greatly overstated. Yes, there are a few staff in customer facing roles who don't come across as particularly friendly or helpful, but absolutely everyone else is a delight to meet and add greatly to their guests' happiness - Ebony in the vegetable garden; Pearl, Romario and Samantha in the restaurants; Kenya at Customer Services, are just a few examples of great ambassadors for the resort. Correct, there is less visibility of Managers walking the floor than at other top hotels, but most of the time staff have got everything under control, if anything requires fixing/adjusting. Galley Bay is a beautiful and chilled holiday destination that thankfully attracts similarly-minded visitors. It is not a place for fast food and loud manic activity, therefore it is a place for us and we look forward to returning soon. Sorry that I've couldn't mention more names; there just too many worthy of praise.
Great service and staff. Rooms need to be updated.

My husband, 16 year old daughter and I spent one week at Galley Bay last year. This was our fourth visit to Antigua, but the first at Galley Bay Resort. Service and staff were above average. Very responsive to any requests or concerns. The food was above average, though there’s not a lot of variety. The resort is beautiful and well maintained, however our room felt very outdated and in dire need of renovation. The beach is spacious, however due to the location the water can be quite rough. Instead we drove to local beaches to experience that calm, tranquil atmosphere we’ve come to love about Antigua. Pool area was nice and quiet. The general atmosphere of this resort is calm and peaceful relaxation. If you’re looking for a party, you won’t find it here which is more than okay with me. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Although the resort accommodates guests 16 and over, I would recommend families with older teens to be aware that there are no activities for young people. My daughter was the only guest under 30 years old lol. So definitely an older crowd is the target demographic at Galley Bay. I’d stay again if the guest rooms were renovated, but at the price point I expected a higher level of accommodation.
